Default Does driveshaft have to be installed at same time as differential?

I'm getting ready to reinstall my differential. This is my first time doing so. Can I install the diff first and then install the driveshaft, or do I have to install them at the same time?

The shaft can be installed after the diff is mounted, they have the flat face yokes with straps.

Gary,

I did not want to send you another IM since I've already sent you so many in the last few days. Thanks.

It can be installed later. I find it a little easier to stick it in there first though

Yes, much easier to put in at the same time. It is a very tight fit if you try to do it later. Save yourself the headache and do it now. At least that is my experience with it.
